Brady Catches on to Skate Mania Skateboarding started during the 1960's. but it is as popular now as then, A skateboard looks like a surf board 011 wheelsi As a matter of fact it is called side- walk surfing. It can be done on either a flat surface, such as a street or parking lot. or on a ramp, which is specially built out of plywood. Many of our students actively participate in this sport. but Brady Kosterman, in particular. seems to view the sport as more than a leisure ac- tivity. Brady began skateboarding two and ono-half years ago. and spends many hours after school and on weekends perfecting his talent Sometimes he and his Howald, Joelle Huber, Jason Hudson, Brian Huff, Bryce Hull, Jami Hunter, Jessica Hutchinson, Heather Hysell, Dina Imerson, Ryan Ingram, Beth Irvin, Darlene Jackson, Tracy friends will organize skating sessions that may last up to eight hoursi Brady also skates competitively and. he says. Ifl ever get good enough, I'd like to turn pro. Frequently skaters get a bum rap about their Clothes, hair, and way of life. Brady com- ments. HMany people think skaters only listen to hardcore 0r punk, but music really has nothing to do with skating. It is just a fun and aggressive activity done in 01168 spare time. Many dedicated skaters share the same feelings as Brady, which is, ltl'll probably skate until my health gives out. 94 t Eighth Grade

While most students are excited over the fact that this is their last year of middle school, they are also saddened by the re- alization that some of their friends will not fol- low them to the same high school. Kim Ross and Toni Carey have been best friends since the fourth grade. Kim will be attend- ing Countryside and Toni Clearwater. nIf Toni lived on the other side of the street she could go to Countrysidefl said Kim. Both girls have concerns that a street may not be the only barrier that sep- arates them. HI know Kim will meet a new friend at Countryside, and we won't be as Close as we have been. I think about that alot and it scares me, expressed Toni. It is never easy to say good-bye to someone you have shared so much with and care deeply about. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life and sooner or later you will have to break the bonds that tie and say, ttGood-bye, friend. Eighth Grade w 93
